China blocks websites that don't follow its rules. India is threatening to do something similar. From this article: "Like China, we too can block such websites," said Justice Suresh Kait.
Chrome runs the JavaScript execution the best, while sucky at graphics (Scaling via CSS is sluggish in chrome).
Firefox 4+ runs it overall well (Slight GC hiccups in Firefox 9 though).
IE9 runs it like crap (JavaScript execution is like firefox 3.6, slow as hell).
Opera 11.6 can't run it, because it doesn't follow the typed array spec, causing the emulated cpu to crash. Works in older opera versions though, but just a little faster than IE9.
Safari 5.1.X reloads the page when ever a game starts, because of a js engine regression that happened in safari 5.1.1. Works in webkit nightlies though, and Safari 5.0.X
GoDaddy screwed themselves and I'm not what they can do to recover. I don't know if they'll actually lose money over this, but PR-wise they're pretty screwed.
They are a tech company that supported the most egregious legislation I've ever seen in my life, and then took a "come at me bro" stance when the outrage machine was building. All they had to do then was spin it slightly differently, and this all likely would have been avoided.
Now, as it stands, Godaddy will be forever known to the tech crowd as corporation of hypocrites and liars. The brand is toast.
The GoDaddy brand has been toast in the tech crowd for a long, long time- the women, the elephant incident... they still continued to make money. Sadly, I doubt that will change.
If preconceptions of domain users tend to not care about women being sexual objects or animals being shot, then I don't see how GoDaddy will be affected.
Now, legislation that means the domain users can have their domains taken from under their feet; you bet any sane domain user is angry, if not at least worried.
That said, they do have a lot of issues, exacerbated by limited support and up-selling.
I think the tablet market will either be completely turned upside down when Windows 8 comes out, or iOS will just keep dominating. I hate to say it, but right now it looks like Android is only successful on phones, and it doesn't look like that is changing anytime soon. Come CES 2012 though, I may have to eat my own words.
